SNOW I'M CITIES.
The System of Snow-Melting Devised by
London En- oineer.

The System of Snow-Melting Devised by a
London Engineer.
When it is considered that fall of
snow 6 inches deep over l mile of road
60 feet wide amounts to 1866 cubic
yards the impossibility of removing
it promptly by means of horses and
carts is at once apparent. The more
SO when it is remembered that some
metropolitan vestries have from so to
100 miles of road, and thus have to deal
with from 100000 to 100000 cubic
yards Of snow, assuming inch fall
to occur. The principle of Mr.. Lyons
invention is that the snow can be dealt
with in the roads on which it falls
when it is in light and fleecy condi-
ton, and therefore easily melted. The
apparatus consists of a wrought-iron
tube about IS feet long, having a fur
mace at one end and a short length of
vertical pipe for chimney at the other
The tube is made in lengths Of 6 feet
and each length is tapered SO that they
all tit into each other and are closely
packed for transport on wheels. When
fall of snow occurs the apparatus is
to be laid along the cutters of the roads
to lie cleared, the width occupied being
about four feet. A fire is then to be
lighted in the furnace, the heat from
which will pass along the horizontal
tube, which has a fatty arched top. The
snow is then to be shoveled on to the
heated tube, which will melt it, the re-
sulting water flowing away to the near
est gully. A trial of this apparatus
took place in the St. Marylebone dis
trict on some snow which had fallen
long previously and had been twice
carted. Notwithstanding the solidifed
condition of the snow and the imper-
feet condition of the experimental ap-
paratus, it is stated that twenty-one
yards OF the consolidated snow. weigh
ins 10 tons. s cwt., 5 qrs., equal to 1873
yards of freshly fallen snow, were melt
ed in ten hours, with consumption of
coke of the value of shilling pence,

CHAPTER XXI.

Next morning John Earring, accom-
panied by the fat widows son, went
down the winding road to the farm
where in the long ago he first received
the fatal gift of life. The air was
quiet, with a sunny flavor in it, and
the snow lay over the world like a
light blanket of down. The boy point
ed out the spot where John Earring s
father fell, and the young man stood
still while flood of feeling swept
over him, and looked at the trees
so bare of verdure and the little
stream that came jngling down the
hill and slipped away into the white
meadows. When they came in sight
of the house which, weather-beaten
and brown, stood breast deep i'm a
mass OF tangled shrubbery, and over
topped and leaned upon by larger
trees, John Earring dismissed the
youth, who took himself off toward the
town with deal of vigor, for the
premises had gotten with the flight of
wears very ghostly reputation. In
deed, the place was very suggestive of
uncanny fancies, being so shaggy and
lonely and oyergrown; besides time
had only intensified aud decpened the
tale of darkness that overshadowed it.

those far-off days to him were as empty

He slowly crowded his way through
the tangle and stood upon the wide
porch, which, moss-grown, dccayed
and sagged between the pillars, seemed

The Mnchetp.

I frequently notice in correspondence
from Mexico and Central America, ref
erence to the machete, says Colonel
Lewis A. Clark in the Globe Democrat.
I was in Nicaragua with Walker, and in
other Central American countries, and
can explain what the instrument or
weapon (for it is BOTH really is. The
machete is the most priced and the most
used of any implement. The native al
ways carries 1t with him wherever, when
ever and for whatever he goes. 1t is his
weapon for defense against man and
beast. 1t cuts his way through the dense
jungles. 1t cuts the grass and crop of
the green corn for his horse or mule.
With it he kills and cuts up his hogs and
beef, and with it he slices his meat and
bread 1t is his best and reliable farm
ing implement. 1t is knife VARYING in
length from eighteen to twenty-four
inches, and about two inches wide, ta-
pering to point. He uses a primitive
pillow sometimes, but the machete always.
With it he clears the briers, the brush
and the long grass, and with sharp
stick or this same machete he punches
holes in the ground at irregular distances,
drops in his corn, covers it with his heel
and retires to the shade for kind nature
to do the rest, or rather for nature to do
tie work and himself to rest. AS a
weapon it is most formidable, and was
much dreaded by our soldiers during the
invasion of Mexico. There is class of
mounted scouts armed with machetes,
and known as Machateros. who are much
dreaded in war.

Co aling at Nagasaki.

The traveller whose point of departure
from a Chinese port has been a nest OF
dirty novels is agreeably surprised on
entering japanese harbor, TO see the
order, cleanliness, and good taste which
mark the town. The native craft, which
surround the steamer as soon as her
anchor is dropped, are characterized by
the spotless whiteness of their wood
twork, by their unsoiled oars, masts,
and cordage, and by their picturesque
sails, which resemble dainty linen.
An English officer, who watched the
coaling of steamer in Nagasaki Harbor,
says that the coal-junks are cleaner than
English yachts, and that the prosaic
operation was made poetical by the style
in VIII oh the japanese performed it.
